Shadow Games

Materials:
None but a time of the day when your bodies cast a shadow on the ground

Directions:
Don’t step on my shadow:
Telling your child not to do something that she knows it’s really okay to do makes this game silly fun. You say, "Don’t step on my shadow" and keep scurrying away as she tries to put a foot on your shadow. Take turns with this one seeing if you can step on her shadow while she moves away and tries to prevent your stepping on her shadow.
